Is there a link to the ad? You've got dibs, but someone might be able to tell you if the rosewood neck is legit.

It's very pretty! And if it has indeed been so well preserved it sounds like a good deal. I think I'd do a little more research about the "rosewood" neck. I'd also research the lack of a pickguard, which seems odd on that vintage (just my opinion - not necessarily fact), and the inlays look unusual to me, too. If it's close to you, maybe you can arrange to play it, which is the only thing that should really matter. One just wants to be sure the seller knows what they are selling, and what you would be getting. It helps confirm their integrity and protects your investment.

Good luck!!

Also the heel looks very un-Guild-like. Can you get a serial number?

$500 is pretty sweet - assuming everything is cool.

i would ask for a shot of the label. it just looks odd to me, like someone took a guild neck and stuck it on a mystery jumbo or something.

Doesn't look like a Guild at all!

Looks to me like a GAD with a mahogony neck. :?

 

[plaidseason]

But what about that heel? Is that what the the GAD heel looks like? (I have no idea)

Just like I said: Doesn't look like a Guild at all!

Maybe he's just using a photo of a GAD but he says the guitar he's selling is a Guild JF-30 from 1987 ????????

Sure looks like a GAD-JF30 to me. The guitar sure looked pretty to me, especially without the pickguard. But then, I looked closer at the fingerboard inlays. Hey, there is something fishy going on here. This guitar looks too good for a 1987.

Then I took another look at all your posts. That ain't no '87. The guy should know better.

see i knew there was somethin funky and that inlay is most definitely dubbed "GAD"
i guess such stands that ill just have to see it in person and play it.
